Dreams of Blue
For the ability to transpose the typical stylistic elements of science-fiction films in a VR experience. Also noteworthy is the technical craft of the film, especially regarding post-production.
In a not-so-distant future, where technological advancement has surpassed the need for ethical behavior, two scientists decide to activate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) bound to become a Singularity. Dreams Of Blue explores what might happen inside the “mind” of an AI that becomes both self-aware and self-conscious and that reflects on the meaning of life purely on the basis of what she extrapolates from the Internet: no significant human contact, no deep emotional connection, only a forcibly detached analysis of “the meaning of life” based on human history and human online interaction.
